Prepared foods, for sale in streets, squares or markets, are
ubiquitous around the world and throughout history. This volume is
one of the first to provide a comprehensive social science
perspective on street food, illustrating its immense cultural
diversity and economic significance, both in developing and
developed countries. Key issues addressed include: policy,
regulation and governance of street food and vendors; production
and trade patterns ranging from informal subsistence to modern
forms of enterprise; the key role played by female vendors;
historical roots and cultural meanings of selling and eating food
in the street; food safety and nutrition issues. Many chapters
provide case studies from specific cities in different regions of
the world. These include North America (Atlanta, Philadelphia,
Portland, Toronto, Vancouver), Central and South America (Bogota,
Buenos Aires, La Paz, Lima, Mexico City, Montevideo, Santiago,
Salvador da Bahia), Asia (Bangkok, Dhaka, Penang), Africa (Accra,
Abidjan, Bamako, Freetown, Mozambique) and Europe (Amsterdam).
